Baas: no prob, thanks for direct-linking the 32 and 64-bit versions. Adding a notice about the adware version.

In spite of the adware issues, I think this is the easiest-to-use and to setup CPU temperature application. It's on all my PCs and I've never had a problem with it. Just set it and forget it. The digital temperature display in the system tray is very visible and useful when resource-heavy apps are running. I'm surprised this isn't rated higher. |

@Cattleya: Make sure you download the zip package, because the installer does the following:

CPUZ is old, tired and practically useless. It's heyday was about six years ago. Speccy is a must for today.

The customized versions for different board manufacturers (on the home page) are also portable (download the zip package). The customized versions include the manufacturer's logo as a window background and theme. |

Discovered this following __philippe's recommendation; the download link from webpage seems to be working now. This tiny app absolutely rocks -- I just wish that background color was user customizable...

From version 7 (2021-03-09) there are more licenses: |
Real Temp is a monitoring program designed to see the temperature of all Intel "Core" processors including Core 1, 2, i3, i5, and i7 processors. Each core has a digital thermal sensor (DTS) that reports data relative to the safe maximum operating temperature, known as "TjMax". As your CPU heats up, your "Distance to TjMax" will decrease.
As these processors will start to throttle or slow down as they approach their maximum temperature, it's possible to have a computer that slows down dramatically. To increase speed and reliability, a good TjMax distance is ideal.
The program also supports full logging, temperature alarms and shutdown, and the ability to calibrate for each core of your CPU.
